Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under
|
|
|
|
the GPL. It combines the power of many existing open-source packages
|
|
|
|
into a common Python-based interface.

Sage can be used in several ways: through an interactive command line,
|
|
|
|
by writing stand-alone scripts, through the graphical notebook

|
interface in a browser, or through the KDE Cantor application (part
|
|
|
|
of a full Slackware installation).

Building sage requires >8GB of disk space, so you may need to
|
2011-07-26 05:11:02 +02:00
|
|
|
redefine $TMP and/or $OUTPUT.

|
build options and such.

NOTE:
|
|
|
|
Future SAGE (7.3+) requires some changes in Slackware's core packages:
|
|
|
|
- readline must be linked to ncurses
|
|
|
|
Get readline's SlackBuild script, change this line
|
|
|
|
make $NUMJOBS static shared || make static shared || exit 1
|
|
|
|
into
|
|
|
|
make $NUMJOBS static shared SHLIB_LIBS=-lncurses || make static
|
|
|
|
shared SHLIB_LIBS=-lncurses || exit 1
|
|
|
|
and rebuilt readline.
|
|
|
|
- Python rebuilt against UCS-4 (enabled by default in next Slackware)
